mlk day

ok, so i have the day off......and have thus far resisted that notion of accomplishing much beyond fixing lunch for my friend jane and her sister, who are driving down from cincinnati.......i could figure out how to use the photo printer we received for christmas.......and actually produce prints of family photos from the holidays.....i could finish the boxing up of the conundrum ipaq for mailing back to the extended warranty people.....and i could make room in the guest bedroom for all of the books that andrew has brought home for safekeeping......these books stacked on the floor are ever so much more interesting than the ones on the shelves......and i really could use a 30 minute walk now rather than later just to get it out of the way........but there is something essentially pleasing about lounging about in one's pajamas and sipping hazelnut coffee.......and catching up on one's favorite blogs.........and while this activity has nothing to do with mlk or his legacy.........it does give me the illusion of being freeatlastfreeatlastfreeatlast................
